NYTimes article on Smith and Wesson

[clintpup]

Here's an article on the comeback of Smith and Wesson from the NYTimes.

It's sort of neat to see an article about Smith and Wesson in the "Grey lady" but the article seems to be biased and somewhat inaccurate... you'll see what I mean.

Yeah, you can see the bias clearly but then what would you expect from the New York Times?

hmm

I dont really see the authors bias, but I do see his ignorance of firearms clearly. Otherwise I believe it was a decently written piece with some claring mistakes (No mention of Sigma vs Glock, single shot assault weapon, etc etc) that can be glossed over. Nothing in it to make a sheeple go crazy.

I personally feel better about S&W after readin the report and am now locked in on a new M&P or M60 LS when I get the chance.

"The government is the only business that is expanding," said Joshua Horwitz, executive director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, based in Washington. "The civilian market is not, while the government is putting tens of billions of dollars into homeland security."

I don't agree with the highlighted part. Every time I have been at the gun counter in Mike's Outdoor Sports or Academy Sports, they are hopping with business.
